While the intended purpose of a
night light is to
comfort a
child when he or she is about to
sleep, it casts suspicious
shadows on the bedroom walls and enlivens eyes with constant stares in wooden closet- and
bedroom doors.
In my childhood, somehow with odd shadows on the wall, if my
blanket covered my head and
encased my arms, hands, feet, and legs, I was
safe. When I stopped sleeping with a night light on, my blanket didn't have to protect me anymore.
Having no night light is okay if what you can't see doesn't
scare you.
